That was pretty much the way my (now-retired, still-younger-than-me) doc explained it. He also made the prostate biopsy procedure sound particularly unpleasant, though that might have more to do with my reaction to the description than with his (always cool and balanced) explanation.

I've had a prostate biopsy, years ago triggered by a high PSA. After the first punch you say "OK I can handle that. After the 10th - YOU F#!!$ DONE YET DOC?

...He also made the prostate biopsy procedure sound particularly unpleasant, ... He was right about that.
Has anyone here undertaken the reading of Thomas Piketty's new book Capital in the Twenty-First Century? Paul Krugman's review appears in The New York Review of Books. At nearly 700 pages, it's currently the top selling book on Amazon. Krugman and Bill Moyers discussed this on Moyers' TV show though I haven't seen it yet. ( LINK) Piketty (a reasoned economist, not from any fringe) argues that the world is entering a new gilded age and inherited wealth is being consolidated to form an oligarchy the likes of which we've never seen. It put me in mine of the Ted Talk by Nick Hanauer "Rich people don't create jobs."

I picked up the e-book but I haven't waded into it yet.
